Typical Conversation with a 6 year old?

Sary's nursery and Ghadi's summer camp happen to be at the same location, so I drove them both every morning for one whole month f July and I can say I really had great company while driving.
We opened all kinds of conversations,
we talk often about road signs and Ghadi was helping me control speed limit spotting all the different signs on our way.

He asked me the other day:
- can we drive on the speed of 4?
- You mean 40?
- No 4
I said yes we can but that would be driving like a turtle
He gazed then asked:
- If we remove the turtle shell then it would walk much quicker?
- That makes sense
- And it could climb trees
- Ehm..we can’t be pretty sure they could
- but how do turtles speak with each others?
- They definitely have their own language, every animal has its own communication method
- But we can’t understand it
 - Aaah, but you know, long time ago, there was a king, he was a very good person obeying Allah and so he was granted the ability to understand animal languages!
He could talk with birds and listen to ants
- Did he die?
- Well sure he did, that was really long time ago
- Like 200 ago?
- No, it was before 200, maybe 1000 years ago
- In what country?
- In Palestine
- Was there many people back then?
- Yes but not as much as now
- How many people were there in Lebanon?
- Maybe 10,000
- And now?
- around 4 million!
- Waw that’s too much! But china has the highest number of people
- Yes true
- And china is the biggest country
- No, we agreed before when we looked at the map that Canada and Russia are bigger
- Yeah
- but why there are more people in China than in Russia or Canada?
- It’s because of the weather..It’s very cold and lands are mostly covered in ice all year long
- Why?
- Ah because that part of earth is far from the sun and stays cold.. just like the Antarctic
- Mom but why the Antarctic is that far? And why is it always icy?
- Ah my beloved, here we are...(dropping him at destination)...have a nice day!!!!!! 
surreal...that conversation was just surreal ...
